Dm                       Ddim
Everyone and everything around me's always changing
     A#                              F
Everyone except me, I'm stayin' the same
as if I was nothing
        Dm                                Ddim
I don't sing my songs I bleed em, I don't write
unless I mean them
        A#                                     F
Without cold the snow's just rain, without my voice
it's all the same

Chorus:
Dm                     Ddim
It's okay we're just scared
A#                     F
It's okay we're just scared
Dm                     Ddim
It's okay we're just scared
A#                     F
It's okay we're just scared

I don't really need to sleep much longer
But the longer I sleep, the slower my heart beats
There's fire on my floor telling me
to sleep some more
Cry a little louder if you know what this means

Chorus:
It's okay we're just scared
(It's okay we're just scared)
It's okay we're just scared
(It's okay we're just scared)
It's okay we're just scared
(It's okay we're just scared)
It's okay we're just scared (It's okay)

A#dim
Hey
Dm7  Dm    C        F             F/C
I forgot about the note I left on my back door
(on my back door)
Dm          A#
But it's alright, I'll stay here inside
                    A#m            Dm  Ddim A# F
with my friends who aren't here anymore

Actually, you know what?
The way things are isn't good enough
Actually, you know what?
The way things are isn't good enough
Actually, you know what?
The way things are isn't good enough
Actually, you know what?
The way things are isn't good enough
Actually, you know what?
The way things are isn't good enough

We're alive and we're here
Listen please, 'cause we're scared
We're alive and we're here
We will scream till you hear
We're alive and we're here
Listen please, 'cause we're scared
We're alive and we're here
We will scream till you hear
